but i get the error
httpd status 
<http://localhost/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=2&host=devp46&service=httpd+status> 


	

	WARNING 	05-23-2006 16:29:26 	0d 0h 33m 49s 	2/2 	HTTP WARNING: 
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden 


All the other services running on that machine are reporting no such 
problem...I have cerated a user nagios and added it to the groups apache 
( under which the http server is running ) ....
Can anyone please help......
